Not at all! Team DK's second game against the so far undefeated Alliance. After struggling in the first game they put their hope in BurNIng's Anti-Mage. Alliance counters their picks with a strong Alchemist and split push potential. Team fights are crucial in this game and it shows: Fantastic fights from the beginning to the end that you want to watch over and over again, because there's just so much going on!

vs

Team DK

The third game in a best of 3, it's the final game of MLG Columbus.

Speed Gaming need to prove they can actually win a tournament, but DK won't make it easy for them! A match of great team fights, constant back and forth and great plays! Clinkz rax-sniping is one of those moments of Dota that stays in your memory.

Zenith

vs

Invictus Gaming

The no bans strategy.

Zenith is up against Invictus Gaming in game #2 after losing the first one. Having a stand-in player (Meracle) they are not in the best position to begin with. Surprisingly enough iceiceice decides not to ban any heroes, leaving iG with a big pool to choose from and having to face a strong split push lineup. This is one of the games where it is recommended to watch the draft, even if you skip it usually since it's quite fascinating.

Team Secret

Who needs speed if you can have dps instead?

Two of the top teams of the time meet in the Upper Bracket Finals of the Frankfurt Major. It's a great game with fantastic team fights from the beginning onwards and an incredibly good ending. ppd decides that he doesn't need any items until minute ten, pieliedie does some high risk scouting and a certain someone loses his boots in exchange for more damage. Sure to leave you with a big grin on your face afterwards, this game is definitely worth the watch!

Team DK

vs

Alliance

Level 1 Rosh strat with TP scrolls!

Alliance try a very risky strategy to gain an early game advantage, but will it pay off? Either way one of the really great matches G-1 Champions League delivered. The team fights around Rosh pit and bot lane are entertaining throughout the whole game and some unusual chat banter after the match. Fun game!

Orange Esports

vs

EHOME

The original Tiny Wisp.

It's not the first time the powerful Tiny + Io combination has been played, but one of the most prominent ones. EHOME are in deep trouble by Orange's strong team featuring a Morphling wrecking havoc among EHOME's supports. Can the team from China turn this around?

Team Kinguin are back 0-1 in a bo3 and need to get this game. Mineski is sporting a few good heroes, but weirdly enough also an Outworld Devourer in safe lane, who rushes a meteor hammer out of all items and kind of seems lost half the time. This is one of those really unique games that simply stands out of the crowd by being completely different from what you'd expect.

Enjoy!

Alliance

Alliance takes on Tobi's challenge for rax down in under 10 minutes.

A short, refreshing game. Alliance shows that they are definitely capable of dominating the early game, without having to resort to rat. If you have to kill 10 minutes watch the game, for 20 minutes start from the draft. Also, no highlight video since the main link is basically that.

Natus Vincere

vs

Team DK

DK are one win ahead in a best of 3 against Na'Vi, but that won't discourage the team from Ukraine.

In a pretty even match the advantage seems to shift ever so lightly between teams every few minutes. Still, as the match continues the shifts become bigger and bigger. In the end it's one item that helps one team overpower the other. Guess which! ;)A fantastically entertaining game with a great ending!

Fnatic

vs

Virtus.pro

Fnatic shows everyone what a real rat game is all about. Split pushing with Meepo and Nature's Prophet they outmanoeuvre VP's defenses and seem to give no chance to attack. Suddenly there's a Rapier and things are about to blow up. Will VP be able to withstand the assault and get a chance to push back for the win?

A tense game with many pauses and quite a bit of salt.

Team Secret

vs

Cloud9

After taking game #1 Cloud9 dominates the early game of this one as well, leaving Secret to barely hang on. A loss would eliminate them from the tournament. Nevertheless they make the most out of their push potential with a farmed Lycan. Secret keeps pressuring C9, but clearly pays for it in team fight potential.

The actual ending of the game is abrupt, surprising and wonderfully absurd. A fantastic watch!

TNC Pro Team

vs

OG

Backstory: TI6. TnC are a small team from the Philippines. Most think they should feel blessed for BEING at TI, and everyone belives OG (the great favorite, multiple majors winning team) will kick them out. Except game 1 happens (it's great too btw). TnC pull out some crazy shenanigans and with a rollercoaster gold/xp graph they manage a double comeback, winning.

The drafting for game 2 is interesting. OG pull out a classic Tiny-Io duo, and TnC answers with a drow strat, featuring Huskar and Dazzle. The game starts badly for them, but the 15k gold deficit is not felt, at all. The teamfights are INCREDIBLE with both teams pulling out every last card. The game has insane chronos, rapiers, base races, mind games. Dota 2 at its finest!
